A member asked:
If i've been on valium 5mg for a month and a half, what would be the proper way to slowly taper off of it? dr. told me 2.5 mg at bedtime for 1week?

Listen to your docto: Improper quitting of benzos can lead to convulsions. i think that your Dr. is probably correct. Xanax (alprazolam) comes in .0.5 mg which is what you are on and o.25 mg. that should be OK but keep in touch with your doctor
